Your record isn't valid because it's missing the string length byte.
Don't try to use generic records. TXT records in tinydns start with a
quote, e.g.

'k0903._domainkey.iecc.com.:v=DKIM1; h=sha1\072sha256; p=MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQDN5YERrZdMCFcAnd8a83MN53tpAxL8SkMHWEf1oyg5AAnuI0aQXsxAysbaxEVHZQ5zlsxVWl1ZuHSkr1ysOp23yerLz9uKFwJXSZDt7ocVDuLt8cNuPoMCu0bk4HfvfVKhOJ/tjLDlf0Nqo/SB3p2DoPiH9KQnYKPypnBmU5ljBQIDAQAB ;

Remember to escape any colons in the data as \072
